Butterfly Day at EmilyAnn Theatre always happens on the third Saturday in April. Now a Wimberley tradition, visitors to the theatre are greeted by wooden butterflies lining the Pathway of the Stars, and paper butterflies decorating the site for a Spring Fling Celebration!
All those who purchase pavers are given a live butterfly to release at the event. The releases occur throughout the day.
The Emily Ann Spring Fling includes entertainment, silent and live auctions and a showcase of paper and wooden butterflies decorated by children and adults from the Wimberley area.
